Precautions before treating eczema

　　Prevention: This disease mostly occurs in summer, and is more common in people with allergies. The incidence rate in infants and young children is higher than that in adults.

　　1. Remove the cause of the disease

　　(1) Despite eczema The cause of the disease is not easy to determine, but we should still inquire about the medical history in detail, conduct necessary system examinations, and try to find out the possible causes and eliminate them.

　　(2) People with allergies should not only avoid contact with substances that are likely to cause allergies in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation (for details, see Allergens in Causes), they should also strengthen their health exercise , in order to improve the allergic constitution.

　　2. Avoid irritating factors. Once eczema occurs, as a patient, you should try to avoid irritating factors, including scratching, boiling water, soap scrubbing, drinking alcohol and spicy food, etc., to avoid aggravating the condition of eczema.

　　3. Early diagnosis and early treatment basis clinical It is easy to diagnose due to its characteristics of severe itching, polymorphic lesions, tendency to ooze, tendency to flex the limbs, and prone to recurring attacks. Densely distributed red papules and papular herpes with severe itching should be treated early. Since most early stage eczema belongs to the acute or subacute stage, external drug treatment should be based on the principle of sequence.

　　4. People with allergic constitution or a family history of allergies should avoid various external stimuli, such as hot water scalding, scratching, sun exposure, etc., and try to avoid allergenic and irritating foods.

　　5. Live a regular life and pay attention to the balance between work and rest.

　　6. Wear loose clothing to reduce friction and irritation, and avoid direct contact with chemical fibers and woolen fabrics skin。

　　Most cases of eczema, especially chronic ones, have not been cured after years of treatment, and patients often lose confidence. In fact, eczema is not an "incurable disease". Because the causes of the disease are extremely complex, it makes treatment difficult. Patients should cooperate with their doctors to build confidence in the cure and try to avoid various suspected causative factors, such as hot water washing, excessive use of soap, vigorous scratching, and improper use of external medications. Pay attention to avoid mental stress and overwork in daily life. Do not eat pepper, fish, shrimp, crab or strong tea, coffee , alcohol, silk, wool, chemical fiber and other products should not be used in clothes and quilts. Keep your bowel movements smooth and get enough sleep. Pay attention to clean and moisturized skin in winter. These can reduce the recurrence of eczema and achieve the purpose of cure.
